What Is A Small Diameter Valve?

A small diameter valve is a valve with a small diameter bore. The exact size can vary depending on the application, but generally, a small diameter valve has a bore of less than 40mm. These valves are used in various industries, including water treatment, food processing, and pharmaceutical manufacturing, to control the flow of fluids through a pipeline. Small diameter valves are available in various styles, including ball valves, butterfly valves, and plug valves.

In water treatment applications, small diameter valves are used to control the flow of water through filters, clarifiers, and other treatment equipment. 

Small diameter valves must be chosen carefully based on the specific application requirements. Factors to consider include the type of fluid being handled, pressure requirements, temperature requirements, and sanitation requirements. The material of the valve, including the body material and the sealing material, must be compatible with the fluid being handled to prevent corrosion or contamination.

In addition to the valve itself, small diameter valves often require small diameter actuators or pneumatic actuators to operate the valve stem. These actuators provide the necessary torque to turn the valve stem and open or close the valve. It is important to choose an actuator that is compatible with the valve and can provide the desired amount of torque for reliable operation.
